Hi Again,

I posted a while back regarding my problem with the OO Hanabi 4th reel (the one that never stops spinning). I received lots of helpful tips and I definitely appreciate it!

I believe I have isolated the problem to the motor. The reel spins fast for a second, then slows down (repeatedly). When it slows down, it sounds like gears are grinding in the motor. I'm thinking that they might be stripped.

I'm wondering if anyone might have a working motor they might be willing to part with (perhaps from a parts machine) or know of someone who could sell me one.

I'm about ready to give up on this thing, but I've put too much into it to quit before I at least attempt to replace the motor.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
